Footballers could drop out of the Saudi World Cup over workload issues, the head of the PFA has warned.
Earlier on Tuesday the middle eastern country was confirmed as the sole bidder for the tournament in 2034, meaning it is inevitable that the event will – as it was in Qatar last year – be held in the winter and the middle of the European seasons.
PFA chief executive Maheta Molango believes that, coupled with an ever-growing calendar, could see some of the planet’s biggest players stop playing for their countries.
The path was cleared for Saudi after only rival Australia withdrew its interest this morning.
